Blurb
He was the most powerful Sith lord who ever lived.
But could he be the only one who never died?
Interesting.
Though it's probably referring to political power, no? mmm

Not sure how "most knowledgeable in esoteric force techniques" translates into the most powerful but they make this shit up as they go along.

It's EU Star Wars. Hyperbole and ridiculous unsubstantiated quotes about power are more commonplace than actual stars.
Some of the new stuff is going to make Superman look like a well rounded character at this point.
So Shmi's lay's gettin' a book. Cool.
I heard the story's about the love triangle in between Palps Plagueis and Shmi. Something about Plagueis having relations with Palps until Shmi came along and entered the mix. Plagueis stop having carnal relations with palps, cause he was puttin' it on Shmi and he developed feelings for her, and got her pregnant. Palps he didn't appreciate that at all and so he whacked him in bed. Palps left Shmi alone because he wanted Plagueis'/Shmi's offspring to serve him for life as punishment for betraying the carnal love they had for each other.
That's what i heard.

Because it's said in various points. I believe Palpatine himself comments on it when reflecting on Plagueis's murder. I believe Jedi vs. Sith said something to similar effect
Palpatine also says Plags taught his aprentice evrything he knew an obvious lie. As for Jedi vs Sith I can't comment on it.
Palpatine would have to be an exemplary liar in RoDV because then he's thinking it to himself when he reflects on Plagueis. He DOES confess to himself he never learned the secret of eternal life (yet), but he dispatched Plagueis when he surpassed him.
Moreover, Palpatine and Plagueis had serious tension when Palpatine murdered him. If Plagueis fancied his chances, he could have attempted to end him rather than risk something as major as an usurpation when he was cultivating another apprentice.
I believe the databook said Palpatine only moved against Plagueis when he surpassed him, as well
Originally posted by LightsnakeThis doesn't make any sense because if Palpatine truly surpassed him, he wouldn't have killed him like a coward. It actually points to the fact that Palpatine was very much the inferior in that relationship and seized upon an opportunity, instead of facing his master on an even level.
